    摘要:

    高寒生态系统植物生长和土壤微生物生态过程受土壤氮、磷养分有效性的严重限制。全球气候变暖可显著改变青藏高原高寒生态系统植物群落生长与土壤微生物群落结构与活性,深刻改变土壤养分矿化与循环过程,进而影响土壤氮、磷养分有效性。然而,我们对气候变暖如何影响青藏高原高寒灌丛土壤氮、磷养分有效性的认识还不够深入。为了揭示气候变暖对高寒灌丛土壤养分有效性的影响,以青藏高原东部典型的窄叶鲜卑花高寒灌丛生态系统为研究对象,探讨高寒灌丛生长季不同时期可溶性有机碳(DOC)、无机氮(DIN)和有效磷(AvP)含量与化学计量比的动态变化及其对增温的响应,并分析影响土壤养分有效性的主要环境因子。研究结果表明:高寒灌丛生长季土壤有效养分含量季节动态明显。土壤DOC含量表现出先降低后增加的趋势,在生长季中期达到最低值;土壤DIN含量、土壤铵态氮、硝态氮含量及土壤AvP含量在整个生长季均表现出增加的趋势,均在生长季末期达到最大值。增温没有显著改变高寒灌丛整个生长季空气温度,增温使整个生长季土壤温度显著提高1.3℃,同时使土壤水分显著降低2.2%。增温使高寒灌丛整个生长季土壤DOC和AvP含量分别显著增加3.5%-9.9%和4.8%-33.7%。然而,增温仅在生长季中期使土壤DIN含量显著增加17.5%,在生长季末期使土壤DIN含量显著降低21.8%;生长季末期土壤DIN含量降低主要源于土壤硝态氮含量降低;但增温对整个生长季土壤铵态氮含量没有显著影响。同时,增温使生长季末期土壤DOC:DIN比显著增加37.3%,使生长季中期土壤DOC:AvP比显著降低17.9%,使生长季中期和末期土壤DIN:AvP比显著降低12.2%-25.7%。冗余分析和Pearson相关分析表明,土壤温度、土壤水分、土壤微生物生物量碳含量和脲酶活性是影响高寒灌丛土壤养分有效性的主要因子,它们能解释土壤有效养分含量大部分变异。这些结果表明,未来全球气候变暖可通过提高土壤温度、促进土壤养分矿化过程,加速土壤有效养分转化与循环速率,从而显著影响土壤有效养分含量。以上结果可为深入认识气候变暖情景下青藏高原高寒灌丛土壤养分转化与循环过程提供基础数据,同时也可为青藏高原高寒灌丛生态系统可持续经营与管理提供科学参考。

    Abstract:

    Plant growth and soil microbial ecological process are severely constrained by the availability of soil nitrogen and phosphorus in alpine ecosystems. Global climatic warming can significantly alter the growth of plant communities, as well as the structure and activity of soil microbial communities in the alpine ecosystems of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. This, in turn, can have profound effects on soil nutrient mineralization and cycling processes, ultimately affecting the availability of soil nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients. However, up to this date, we still know little about how climate warming affect soil nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient availability in the alpine shrublands on the eastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. Therefore, to reveal the effects of warming on soil nutrient availability in the alpine shrublands, the dynamics of soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC), inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and available phosphorus (AvP) contents and their stoichiometric ratios and their responses to warming during the different growing seasons in a typical alpine shrubland dominated by Sibiraea angustata on the eastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau were examined. The main influencing factors regulating soil nutrient availability under warming were also investigated. The results showed that the soil available nutrient contents showed obvious seasonal dynamics. Soil DOC content showed a trend to decrease first and then increase, reaching the lowest values in the middle of the growing season. While soil DIN, ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen contents, and soil AvP content showed constant increasing trends, all reaching the highest values at the end of the growing season. Warming did not significantly affect air temperature throughout the growing season. Warming significantly increased soil temperature by 1.3℃, but decreased soil moisture by 2.2% during the growing season. Warming significantly increased soil DOC and AvP contents by 3.5%-9.9% and 4.8%-33.7% throughout the growing season, respectively, as well as significantly increased soil DIN content by 17.5% in the middle growing season. However, warming significantly decreased the soil DIN content by 12.8% in the late growing season, which mainly resulted from the decrease in soil nitrate nitrogen content. Moreover, warming did not significantly affect soil ammonium nitrogen content throughout the growing season. Simultaneously, warming significantly increased the ratio of soil DOC:DIN by 37.3% in the late growing season, but significantly decreased the ratio of soil DOC:AvP by 17.9% in the middle growing season, as well as significantly decreased the ratios of soil DIN:AvP by 12.2%-25.7% in the middle and late growing season. The results of Redundancy analysis and Pearson correlation analysis suggested that soil temperature, soil moisture, soil microbial biomass carbon content, and urease activity were the main factors affecting soil nutrient availability in the alpine shrubland, all of which could explain most variations in the soil available nutrient contents. These results indicated that future global warming could promote soil nutrient mineralization process by increasing soil temperature, then accelerating the transformation and cycling rates of soil available nutrients, and thus significantly influencing soil available nutrient contents in these alpine shrublands of eastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. These results can provide some basic data for a deep understanding of the soil nutrient transformation and cycling process in these alpine shrublands under the climate warming scenario, and also provide scientific references for the sustainable management of these alpine shrub ecosystems on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
